Oh, geez, don't be mean to the guy. This forum encourages appreciation of the cultures from which the martial arts have come. It is also not moderated so strictly as to chill conversation on a topic that may be of interest to martial artists.
Actually.......
My instructor is from Brazil and is constantly talking in Portugeuse. It has alot to with my training and many martial artists who are training under Brazilians. I thought I might get some input from some other artists who have had this experience.....unfortunately I only got responses from the uneducated! I have been on this forum for at least 3 years, and at this point any post on this board is a bonus as it is dying, so take what you can get.
Self-defense is only an illusion, a dark cloak beneath which lurks a razor-sharp dagger waiting to be plunged into the first unwary victim.
Whoever declares that any weapon manufactured today, whether it be a nuclear missle or a .38 special, is created for self-defense should look a little more closely at his own image in the mirror. Either he is a liar or is deceiving himself.
Wing Chun kung fu is a very sophisticated weapon--nothing else. It is a science of combat, the intent of which is the total incapacitation of an opponent. It is straightforward, efficient and deadly. If you're looking to learn self-defense, don't study Wing Chun. It would be better for you to master the art of invisibility
